god I love third sem so much. it's insane how well done it is like I think it's some of the best writing in p5 and it's a fucking addition
#☢️.txt#roz replays p5r#like. having played thru the plot of vanilla and having been a vanilla fan who was mostly satisfied with the ending#(sans akechi)#maruki as a character really adds to the game in ways that i didnt even realize would work. i dont understand when people say his shtick#doesnt fit with the og themes! theyre perfect for it what!!!#p5 has always been about standing against the norm and believing that its possible for society to be changed by the people#maruki fits into that *perfectly* and having the dilemma that he's genuinely a good person doing horrific things?#now that is something i wanted bc i felt p5 could benefit from some stronger moral ambiguity#but they pull it off so fucking well. especially with how they contrast maruki and akechi's worldviews#with akechi adamantly believing in the free will of a society he doesnt care for and that destroyed his conscious#while maruki doesnt give a shit about free will if it means he can save everyone from an unjust fate#akechi is the thief who benefits the most from maruki's reality AND he's the one who rejects it the strongest#i also love sumire. i do wish she got a lot more screentime + i feel bad that her palace got taken over by akechi being akechi#but i think she's a great character and again. adds a perspective to the game we didnt previously have#she had a mostly decent life. she has a loving family who did everything they could to support her.#she was STILL mentally ill and got taken advantage of by an adult everyone trusts. even when everyone learns what maruki did#they struggle to reconcile it because he's a good person. and sumire struggles with it so much.#i wish they let her get angry but also its like 3 weeks
